 <div class="p">28Micaiah declared, &#8220;If you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.&#8221; Then he added, &#8220;Mark my words, all you people!&#8221;</div><div class="s1">Ahab Killed at Ramoth Gilead</div><div class="p"> 29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead. 30The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, &#8220;I will enter the battle in disguise, but you wear your royal robes.&#8221; So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.</div><div class="p"> 31Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, &#8220;Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.&#8221; 32When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they thought, &#8220;Surely this is the king of Israel.&#8221; So they turned to attack him, but when Jehoshaphat cried out, 33the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel and stopped pursuing him.</div><div class="p"> 34But someone drew his bow at random and hit the king of Israel between the sections of his armor. The king told his chariot driver, &#8220;Wheel around and get me out of the fighting. I&#8217;ve been wounded.&#8221; 35All day long the battle raged, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. The blood from his wound ran onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died. 36As the sun was setting, a cry spread through the army: &#8220;Every man to his town. Every man to his land!&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 37So the king died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried him there. 38They washed the chariot at a pool in Samaria (where the prostitutes bathed),#22:38 Or Samaria and cleaned the weapons and the dogs licked up his blood, as the word of the Lord had declared.</div><div class="p"> 39As for the other events of Ahab&#8217;s reign, including all he did, the palace he built and adorned with ivory, and the cities he fortified, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? 40Ahab rested with his ancestors. And Ahaziah his son succeeded him as king.</div><div class="s1">Jehoshaphat King of Judah</div><div class="p"> 41Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 42Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother&#8217;s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi. 43In everything he followed the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. The high places, however, were not removed, and the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.#22:43 In Hebrew texts this sentence (22:43b) is numbered 22:44, and 22:44-53 is numbered 22:45-54. 44Jehoshaphat was also at peace with the king of Israel.</div><div class="p"> 45As for the other events of Jehoshaphat&#8217;s reign, the things he achieved and his military exploits, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 46He rid the land of the rest of the male shrine prostitutes who remained there even after the reign of his father Asa. 47There was then no king in Edom; a provincial governor ruled.</div><div class="p"> 48Now Jehoshaphat built a fleet of trading ships#22:48 Hebrew of ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail&#8212;they were wrecked at Ezion Geber. 49At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, &#8220;Let my men sail with yours,&#8221; but Jehoshaphat refused.</div><div class="p"> 50Then Jehoshaphat rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Jehoram his son succeeded him as king.</div><div class="s1">Ahaziah King of Israel</div><div class="p"> 51Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years. 52He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, because he followed the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. 53He served and worshiped Baal and aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, just as his father had done.</div>
